ZIP Code 28613

In ZIP code 28613, near Catawba, homes carry a median value of $230,100 while the county's effective property tax rate sits at 0.58%. That combination yields an annual property tax bill well under what many homeowners elsewhere pay, even though median household income here is $58,707 and per-capita income reaches $30,861. A 7.00% combined sales tax applies to purchases. The gap between what residents earn and what homes cost shapes how attainable ownership remains, and the county-level tax rate plays a meaningful part in keeping ongoing housing expenses tied to income rather than outpacing it.
